Conversation is the UI. An AI native organisation will give you answers from your system of records, documents, excel and mine tribal knowledge continuously to serve as a single interface. I first started talking of ZERO UI in 2016. Technology now makes it really possible. Longish podcast but Pete A. Tiliakos is master of asking tough questions.

This was recorded in beautiful Coorg and without any notice on a topic which is still not adressed as to who is responsible for the actions of an AI Agent. With Quantum breakthroughs soon will make all current day security irrelevant. Very interesting conversation with Kaushik Srinivasan, CFA who is leading the efforts of resolving such issues.

The announcement by Salesforce sets the trend. SaaS or any SW is now headless. Chat is the only UI - you don't need to open any screens and the information you seek comes from CRM/ERP or any other system is not your worry - orchestration and inference layer will take care of it. Welcome to AI Native Chat - the only tool you need and good bye to seat based pricing and welcome to outcome based pricing. FIRE IN YOUR VIEWS FOLKS.

AGENTIC AI - I saw some headlines from the top honchos like Jensen Huang of NVIDIA and Microsoft whereby we heard that HR will manage manage Agents and Agentic AI will replace SaaS. I was keen to see someone practising it and chanced upon a conversation with Suresh Sundararajan whereby he explained how they have deployed Agents at scale for payable automation for a very large client (albeit a mix of Gen AI and a bit of good old Workflow tools). Intrigued I saw the demo and I was hooked and requested him for a Podcast and he readily agreed. Suresh is a rare case of a busniess leader who is a tech buff and knows a lot about what is the latest. Please listen to a short version of our Podcast and reach out for many more ideas that have spawned since the podcast. Suresh is the Co-Founder & CEO of Mindsprint and a technology buff though with background in Corporate Finance for over 40 Billion USD global Corporation.
